Quote of the Week - August 4th

I've been thinking about posting something about the Obama Administration's public high-fives over a single profitable quarter for GM for a while now, but Holman W. Jenkins, Jr. sums it up perfectly with the following quote leading off his column today:

"Like awarding one little league team five outs per inning and six strikes per batter, then doing a victory dance because they have a good inning, President Obama applauded the "success" of his GM bailout in a visit to Detroit last week."

A perfect analogy, and a very good column.
